Would that work? Anyone tried it? Anyone want to? I don't have any native Amazon files on my Kindle to try it out right now. Mine have all been Alf'd.

I'd be extremely interested in knowing the results myself!

I haven't received one of these yet, and if I did I would have found it to seem "clumsy" and questioned it. I also found the responses to be interesting, friendly and helpful...well, most of them....

My personal preference would be for every book that I've bought from them that has been updated to have some indication on the archive page that it's been updated, with a link to get the updated version.

I'd also add a notification e-mail whenever a book has major updates, like the current one, but with a link and instructions on how to get the update.
